It undeniably was. Tell me which country suffered from british imperialism? Protip; you can't

WW2 in Europe was won by Russia, not the US. I will however be the first to admit that the US decisively defeated Japan, but any claim that the US saved Britain and France is hysterical compared to the onslaught of the Soviets. By that stage in the war, Britain simply couldn't be defeated. If Germany was going to defeat Britain, they would have to have done it during the Battle of Britain. After that point, no. They attacked the Soviets and therefore made victory over Britain utterly impossible. US provided the capability for the D-Day invasion, but D-Day would not have been necessary to force a German surrender. A combined force of French resistance, British bombing and Soviet assault would have forced them back inch by inch to Berlin.
WW1 is a petty thing to claim considering you spent less than a year in that engagement. You also like to ignore the fact that Germany and the central-powers had spent the last three years in full out total war, as had Britain, France and Russia. The US at its strength in 1917 would have failed an invasion of Germany at its full strength in 1914. From 1914 to 1917, it was all slaughter, then you come flying in at the last moment to pretend to be a hero and establish your interests in Europe and you claim to be the great saviours of the war.
Typical American fashion I suppose.
How do you get the USA to join a war?
Tell them it's nearly finished.
War of 1812 was indecisive as far as full military victory, yet the American objective was not met, the White House was burnt and the British Empire forced you to sue for peace. That isn't a complete military victory but it is an objective-based victory. You failed your invasion, we got you to make peace. That IS a victory because it defended British-Canadian interests.
As for this thread in general, it's taken from a comedy sketch but whatever.

Des I wouldn't say Britain owned the vikings since they were taken over by Henry The Conqueror. |

USA.
We didn't lose the War of 1812, it was ended by the Treaty of Ghent which left the war undecided and set to opinion. You cannot say the United States lost, as we actually benefited from it post-war. It was seen as the second Revolutionary War among our people, and it propelled us into an era of partisan agreement and national pride, otherwise known as the Era of Good Feelings. It was also a huge win for our close friends in Canada who took it as a turning point in their losing battle to govern themselves.
Not to mention that it inspired the Star-Spangled Banner, one of the most monumental, inspiring, and patriotic things in American history.

With all due respect, the war hawks were the ones who wanted canada, the American population and the rest of congress did not necessarily want Canada. The fact is the war of 1812 was eclared due to American Soverignity being threatened by the British Empire, and since America lost absolutely nothing to the one of the worlds greatest powers as a still fledgling nation, I wouldn't necessarily say Britian won. And if were talking about Canada lets talk about britian, one of their goals in war of 1812 as to re establish Britain rule in the United states, aka make the US a colony of Britain once again. Since they failed in doing so Britain failed in their objective as well. |

^ Canada is part of the british Commonwealth and as such is technically part of Great britain. Also Des were simply stating facts not re writing victory, we aren't saying Britain lost the war of 1812 were simply stating there wasn't really a victor as I stated by referring to White Peace. |
